How Men Can Elevate Their Style for a Day at the Beach

By Alyssa Martinez @ItsMariaAlyssa

Attention men planning to spend time at some of the top beaches this summer! Wouldn't it be great if you could look stylish and put together even in a casual setting? There's no need to throw your fashion sense out the door simply because you're heading to the beach, as there are many ways you can stay on trend and feel comfortable all day long. Here are some tips that are perfect for men looking to elevate their style for a day at the beach.

It Starts with the Swim Trunks

While you're not going to be wearing a typical outfit at the beach, your swim trunks can make a statement. Be sure to shop for designer swim trunks that look as unique as you are. Designer swim trunks aren't just fashionable, but they tend to use higher quality material, have built-in UPF, better construction, and features that are both functional and eye-catching, such as snaps and belts.

As for what's trendy with men's swim trunks for 2023, it's all about the prints. Solid colors still serve a purpose, but prints will make a statement on the beach. Opt for something tropical and exotic looking for that true vacation style. Also, the cut for swim shorts is much more tailored and streamlined this year, meaning it's time to ditch the oversized swimwear.

A Button-Down Shirt Exudes Casual Confidence

And because you may want to protect yourself from the sun while walking along the beach or having a bite to eat at a beach restaurant, you'll also want a button-down shirt that pairs beautifully with your swim trunks. The shirt can be looser and more carefree, and you can choose short or long sleeves that can be rolled up.

In terms of fabric, cotton and linen are both excellent choices as they are lightweight, breathable, will dry quickly and work with that casual elegant vibe you're trying to create.

Footwear Pulls the Look Together

Just with any other outfit, footwear can pull your look together so take care when shopping for the perfect beach-appropriate shoes. Chances are you'll want to pick flip-flops or slides, which can look a bit sloppy if you don't pick the right styles. Once again, designer footwear will elevate the look and they will be much more durable. Just be sure to focus on fit and interesting features in the shoe.

Protect Your Eyes and Look Ultra-Fashionable with Sunglasses

There's no way you can head to the beach without also packing sunglasses. Sunglasses will protect your eyes from harmful UV rays but also work as a fashionable accessory. Choose polarized sunglasses for the sharpest vision and best protection, and they should be so comfortable and lightweight that you forget you have them on.

Trending men's sunglass styles for 2023 include aviator, round, Wayfarer, blackout, translucent, reflective lenses and sports glasses.
